The Big Picture If Arnold Schwarzenegger was the ideal superhero brought to life, and Sylvester Stallone was a natural fighter who constantly got back up, then Jean-Claude Van Damme was a high-wire daredevil with a ballet dancer's form.

Run Time 97 minutes Director John Woo Release Date August 20, 1993 Actors Jean-Claude Van Damme, Lance Henriksen, Yancy Butler, Wilford Brimley What is 'Hard Target' About? Chance Boudreaux is a drifter of little background, who wanders his way into New Orleans, looking for work. He wants to sail off to find work, but needs money in order to get on the boat.
